About the Cover
The Nature Aquarium, with its elegant beauty, has served as a source of inspiration for countless hobbyists. Its creator, master aquascaper Takashi Amano, has perfected the art of making gorgeous layouts and continually offers new methods of design to keep things fresh. In the innovative layout on the cover, Mr. Amano shows a way to combine rocks and stem plants in his signature iwagumi layout in order to create a sense of depth without an awkward feeling (p. 54).
